map analysis:

IPB Image

Both player started with a group of huntalbes and a sliver mine. The rest of resources were scattered around the map, silver mines concentrade in the middle while bison herds were distribted along the edge. The scattered resources made map control a important factor in the outcome of the game. The central trade route become the main battle field as its ability to generate essnical resources become critical to both player's survival.

Game Summary:

iGiuL started as the blue player on the bottom and the red player __Sephiroth__ started at the top as this french mirror unwarps on Sonora. After a short period of treasure hunting, Sephrioth built a trade post in the middle of the map and age-ed(400wood) up with 15 cdbs shortly after IGiuL aged up with 14 cdb and the same politicians a few seconds ago. During age-up, Sephiroth went for a standard crossbow spam cdb distribution(8food/7wood), IGiuL on the other hand splited his cdbs between food & coin and went for a hussar semi-FF.Sephiroth reserached stagecouch upgrade at his TP and built a barrck to spam crossbows while iGiuL built a stable and send his hussars onto offensive.

iGiuL's hussars draws first blood as they slaughtered Sephiroth's crossbow and desotryed his forward base while Sephiroth built on more trade post and added a stable & barrck amass units to counter. Sephiroth trained hussars and sent out to distract iGiuL's hussar whoever torning down trade post as their master clicked aging to fotress(6 skirmisher). iGiuL chased Sephiroth's outnumbered hussar all the way into his base but spehiroth added pikes to his army and iGiuL retreats. Sephiroth's pikeman & hussar met iGiuL's skirmisher & hussar in iGiuL's base, Sephi's forces successfully slaughtered the age-up skirmishers but they were forced to retreat as more skirmishers arrived via shipment. iGiuL added dragoons to protect his skirmisher from Sephi's hussars, but they were met by mass crossbow in next battle and iGiuL lost all of his hussar & skirmishers. Sephiroth now controls 3 trade posts and set all of them to resource geneartion while iGiuL dropped down the foundation for his 2nd town center. After adding more crossbowman to his army and upgrade his hussar with both HP & Damage cards, Sephiroth lauched an offensive but he was drove back by iGiuL's 2 flaconet shipment. Unfourtately for iGiuL, his exploer were spotted by Sephi's soliders and his 2nd TC were destroyed before it was compeleted. In the battle shortly after, Sephiroth exploited a micro mistake by iGiuL and successfully flanked iGiuL's flaconets. As the battle rages, Sephiroth accumlates resource to catapult himself to fortress(the exiled prince), at the same time iGiuL switches to mill/plantations after another attempt to build town center to claim resoruces failed .

Sephiroth upgraded his crossbowman to veteran level and started two barrack spamming, he also started cuirasser production. After losing several major battles, iGiuL manuvers his pure dragoon forces around the map to raid Sephiroth's cdbs, as a response Sephiroth marched head-on to iGiuL's base with his upgraded crossbow and took down the town center with his overwhelming numbers. iGiuL annhilated all of Sephiroth's curiasser and drove away the crossbowman with upgraded cdbs, but Sephiroth regrouped and took down iGiuL's newly built secondary Town center with his swiss pike and desotryed all of iGiuL's dragoons. GG! Very Entertaining & Well played thumb.gif
